This is part of a review of the new Hyatt Zilara: 1. A First Look at the Hyatt Zilara Suites My favorite benefit of the Zilara so far is the lounge.  Anyone can go in, but it is never crowded. An employee had mentioned to me that it is difficult making …

The Hyatt Zilara is freshly open and I just had to get a look! This all-suite property is adults only, and their rooms are definitely couple oriented.  I wasn’t able to get an upgraded suite with points or my suite upgrade certificate, but my room did not disappoint me. If …

Hyatt has a 48-hour guarantee for rooms for Diamonds and 72-hour guarantee for Platinums.  This means as long as you book ahead of that window, you are guaranteed a room. What does this guarantee mean? First, it means you pay the Hyatt Daily Rate for the reservation, which can be …

Which of Hyatt’s Canvas Wines tastes the best? Diamonds get a check-in amenity when they arrive at the hotel, and they can choose between sent a food and drink item through room service or extra points.  While extra points are valuable, I always choose the food and drink. And I …
